Outdoor homa ceremony in front of the white Sri Anandeshwara Temple, with a striped red-and-white platform in the foreground. Several priests in white and saffron-orange robes sit around a fire pit with offerings on banana leaves, while a figure in orange robes and long hair sits on a carved wooden seat at the right, leading the ritual. A crowd of devotees sits on the ground and steps behind the platform, and a colourful rangoli design decorates the courtyard. Two signs are visible, one reading Sri Anandeshwara Temple, and a Navaratri-themed poster hangs on the wall.
